A Baldur's Gate 3 change appearance option has been implemented in recent patches, a magic mirror in your camp that now allows you to change certain details about your character's face, hair, appearance and general cosmetics - though not without limits. Before that the most retconning you could do to your character was being able to respec your class in BG3, but now you can go - well, only skin-deep. For those who want to know how to change appearance in Baldur's Gate 3, we'll explain the particulars below.
How to change appearance in Baldur's Gate 3
You can now change your appearance whenever you like in Baldur's Gate 3 using a magic mirror you can find back at your camp. There are some limitations though and you can only use the new system to change your appearance, voice, pronouns and genitals. Your race or subrace, and body type can't be changed, while Origin characters, hirelings and full illithids also can't make any changes using the system. Any changes that happen as part of the story also can't be changed.
While Withers did seem to be look like he was going to be offering up the ability to change your appearance in some way that's obviously never happened. He is still useful though, as he's the only way to respec in Baldur's Gate 3 and change class, as well as one of the options of how to revive dead characters in Baldur's Gate 3. He can even bring in Hirelings to fill up the party - but no, he can't perform cosmetic surgery on you. Still, if you want to find Withers, head to the Baldur's Gate 3 Dank Crypt and follow our guide to find his secret room.
